Empowering Seniors to Live Safer, Healthier Lives
What you don’t know could hurt you when it comes to the safety issues that affect older adults today. From identity theft to falls in the home, RSVP’s Triad program strives to provide you with the knowledge you need to feel safer and more secure in your home and in our communities.
What is Triad?
Triad is a nationwide program that brings together older adults, law enforcement and the community to promote safety, healthy living and to reduce the fear of crime. Providing vital information about personal and public safety, and healthy living are key to our mission. We invite you to participate in any of our Triad events and activities.
Triad Educational Programs
Triad offers monthly presentations on topics such as scams and frauds, traffic safety, dementia safety, emergency preparedness, preventing falls, and many others. The presentations are via Zoom, so you can attend online from your home. If you have an idea for a program that you would like Triad to develop, contact Mike Thomsen at mthomsen@rsvpdane.org or 608-411-7897.
